Engineering Feat.

Exactly eleven minutes after a Penn* sylvanla train moved over a 720-foot three-span steel bridge, weighing 7,000,000 pounds, which was in a temporary position, another train passed over the bridge, which had heen moved sidewise 47 feet to its permanent place. Between the breaking of the rails and reconnecting them, ten minutes and 17 seconds elapsed. The new bridge spans the Muskingum river at Trinway, Ohio.
